Estimate
Cassis, damp earth, liquid violets and a liqueur of rocks-like profile emerge from this full-bodied, concentrated and powerful Hermitage, which has no shortage of extract or tannin.
Powerful, complex aromas of dark fruit liqueur, licorice and potpourri, along with a sexy floral overtone and a smoky mineral flourish. Coats the palate with sweet black and blue fruit flavors, while a sappy violet pastille nuance adds an exotic touch. Chewy tannins shape an impressively long, spice-accented finish that shows excellent delineation.
Full-bodied, rich and velvety...features savory notes of horse sweat, leather and clove, a round, supple mouthfeel and a long finish.
